Dracula’s Guest

On a bright summer drive outside Munich, the horses rear from an empty crossroads—and Johann begs his English passenger not to take the road into the valley.

It is Walpurgis Night, and the coachman’s warnings grow stranger with every mile: the village ahead has been abandoned for centuries, he says, after the dead were found alive in their graves, their mouths red with blood. But the Englishman laughs off Johann’s fear and sets out alone, carrying only his walking-stick as clouds gather and a wolf-like cry sounds across the empty countryside. When the storm closes in and twilight turns the road to shadow, will his curiosity lead him to the village—or to something the locals know better than to seek?
